hawk

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::




my mountain life -
the hawk sails slowly
in the morning mist



This year we have Mr. and Mrs. Hawk, sitting on the tree stumps near the mailbox, waiting for me to come up.
Then they take off and sail up and down the valley in all their splendor.

Sometimes we whistle to each other and they fly very low over my head!





I wrote about Mr. Hawk way back in 2006

bright autumn sky -
the shadow of a hawk
in my hands

Translation as a waka by FB friens Esho

見あぐれば (Miagureba) Looking up, 
タカがゆるりと (Taka ga yururi to) The hawk is slowly
空を舞う (Sora o mau) Sailing the sky
朝もやたちこむ (Asamoya tachikomu) Embraced by the morning mist
我が山居かな (Waga yama-i kana) Oh, my mountain life
